It is supposed to look evil. Familiarity with source is only a bonus.
You disagree, evidently, but it certainly looks more evil than a hypothetical image :)

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I don't think the current image is bad.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NO+1 for Keep Until Better Image Suggested. The only character I can think of off the top of my head that could work more is Mordecai from Lackadaisy, but finding a good pic could be problematic.
EDIT: Okay, here's some suggestions for Mordecai:
- In this comic
, the panels with the cat yelling and pleading and Mordecai with the ax, with the speech bubbles at the bottom cropped away.
- In this comic
, second row, second panel.

Hmmm. Here are some better (...or other) options for Mordecai, in my own opinion:
"It would probably be in your better interests to stop screaming and start enunciating... while we can still hear you."
Mordecai is about to shoot you
"I'll never understand you sentimental types."
"That wasn't REMOTELY like the icepick look!
ASYMMETRY?!
(Also, [nudge nudge nudge nudge])
Oh look! Colour!

"AUGH! My medical history!"
"Keep digging."

The current, on the other hand, does illustrate the trope pretty well the way I see it. I distinctly remember thinking of the trope before I recognised who it was the first time I saw it, so for me it works even if you don't know who it is.
Check out my fanfiction!Don't see anything wrong with the current.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerCurrent is okay. Mordecai from here
first of all (bottom right, with bloodstained axe), here
(first inset on second row; would need cropping around his tail and all), or possibly the second row here
might be better.
Somewhat off-topic, but I keep seeing Daniel Radcliffe in the current image (which is fine by me, btw), instead of the actual actor of Elijah Wood.
Moon◊The guy in the current picture just looks kind of sad. No expression on his face at all. It'd be really easy to find a guy with glasses and a Slasher Smile or a Psychotic Smirk.
Evil is my favorite color.I really think the current is fine.

I completely disagree, but the fact that you interpreted it that way is the main reason why I suggested the Mordecai pics, as someone with glasses actually doing something violent, especially if it's coupled with a flat affect like in my first suggestion, is a more clear illustration.

This is another pic of Kevin from Sin City with the reflected light. It would be better at a larger size and cropped more closly to him, but it is all I can find atm.
The current pic might work better on Creepy Blue Eyes, I think there's an IP thread for it right now. [1]
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:

The picture looks really dark, so you can't really see who it even is, which makes it even less demonstrative, even if you are familiar with the work in question. I really don't see anything evil about him.
How about a pic of Gendo punting a puppy or something?
Evil is my favorite color.
